MBC’s entertainment program ‘I Live Alone’, which aired on the 1st, revealed the daily life of 24-year-old actor Go Joon.

Gojun opened the fridge to eat with various hobbies throughout the day. He took out three eggs from the common refrigerator and had his first fried egg, cereal and seasoned seaweed after 7pm.

“As the term intermittent fasting became popular, I thought, ‘This is a good thing,’ so I started practicing it, and it’s been about 15 years now,” says Gojun. When everyone gapes and asks, “Was that 15 years ago?” Said, “There was hardly any, but since I came out, I thought I was living a healthy life, so I kept it up.” -Mu says that Go Jun was the first generation of intermittent fasting.

When asked how long he fasted, Gojun replied, “16 hours of fasting, 8 hours of eating as I please.” After all, Park Na-ra said of Go Joon’s portion sizes, “She eats very little. I guess everyone has to manage it.”

If you fast for more than 12 hours, fatty acids are used as an energy source.

‘Intermittent fasting’, which involves fasting for 12 to 24 hours like Gojun, is a dietary therapy that uses fasting blood sugar. If the fasting state is prolonged, the sugar used for energy runs out, so the fatty acids in fat cells are used as an energy source instead. Fatty acids are used as an energy source and have the effect of burning body fat and expending energy.

Must fast for at least 12 hours and up to 24 hours to be effective. This is because 12 hours after the last meal, insulin secretion decreases rapidly and fat is used as the main fuel.

Fat burning occurs most actively between 16 and 24 hours after fasting, but if it exceeds 24 hours, the body’s metabolic rate may decrease. The most common method is the ‘8:16 intermittent fasting’ mentioned by Gojun, which involves fasting for 16 hours after eating for 8 hours.

Some people should avoid intermittent fasting. These are diabetic patients, growing children and teenagers who need to keep their sugar levels stable. Also, you should be careful because fasting for too long can cause problems like loss of muscle mass as well as loss of body fat.

If you eat too little, you may experience side effects and become fat.

Although Gojun fasted for 16 hours, he ate less food than an adult would eat, raising concerns. If you drastically reduce your calorie intake in this way, you may experience various side effects. Common symptoms include constipation, dehydration, fatigue, headaches, and nausea.

Transcendence diets such as the Gojun diet or one-food diets that only eat one type of food can cause a yo-yo effect. If you severely restrict your intake, you’ll lose body fat and muscle at the same time, while your basal metabolic rate drops, making you prone to weight gain.

Also, if you eat too little, your body treats it as an emergency and converts the food you eat into more fat and stores it. It can cause problems with blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol levels, leading to various aftereffects. Therefore, if your goal is to lose weight, it is better to lose weight gradually by combining proper diet control and exercise. If you reduce your daily calorie intake by about 500 kcal, you can lose about 0.5 kg per week.
